You have all heard the expression a
dark horse" time and again, but / doubt
if many of you, except by inference,
know its full meaning. The expression
originated in this way. Many years be.
fore the war their was q cunning jockey
in Tennessee who owned . black horse
remarkably fast and extremely ill-favored
in looks. To better enable him to enter
him in good things, he hitohed him to
. wagon and peddled from town to town
where country races were run. In this
way he picked up many dollar. One
day he was entering in race in which .
local horse was q great favorite, and was
heavily backed to win. A Colonel
Throckmorton came on the ground just be-
fore the horses were started, and friend
gave him sure pointer" on the favor
tie. The Colonel's business required him
to travel q good deal, and on more than
one occasion he had seen the, peddler's
black horse outfoot field of good ones.
Az he ran his eyes over the "ruck,"~ he
recognized him in it, and he responded
"Your tip amt worth shucks. There's .
Q dark horse 10 that lot who can dis
tance streak of creased lightning. You.
keep your eyes on him, and see
him travel" Just then the start was
made. The race was dash of mile, and
the dark borse kept away back until the
three-quarter pole was passed. Then his
rider gave him his head, pricked his flanks
with the gsffs, when he came away from
the lot, 70 use the Language Of an eye-wit-
ness, - though they wers standing

NEAR BRoNwooD, GA, Dec. 8, 1885.
GENTLEMEN: For ten years l have had
tumor. During that time have been
under the treatment Of the best physi.
clans in Atlanta, Ga, and Utica, N. Y,
none of whom we're able to give relief or
assurance of cure. Then / turned to The
use of patent medicines, several of which
l used without avail. My doctor in
Dawson, who had attended me for twenty
years, assured me that could not live .
year. About two years ago I began
using 5. S. S. and at once my tumor
yielded to its influence; it grew softer
and smaller, and my general health, which
was badly run down, WAS built up with
the decrease of the tumor. Finally,I felt
so we'll and my general health was 80 good,
that stopped the Swift's Specific, and
went on performing my household duties.
But, of course, as l had not persisted in
the use OF the medicine until the tumor
had entirely disappeared, could only
look for the return Of the ailment. Again
Iresorted to the use Of the Swift's Specific,
with the same happy results - ON the
frst occasion. This has been repeated
several times within the last two years,
the medicine never failing to reduce the
tumor and build up my general system.
When first began to take the Specific,
l was SO nervous that could not sleep
for hours on retiring. l felt that if l held
my feet still for few minutes by force
of will, that it would have thrown me
into convulsions. That nervousness the
S. S. S. entirely cured. My pain was 90
great that my physician urged me to
keep under the influence of morphine all
the time, and to abandon hope of recov-
cry. When l began the use of the
Specific, was on the bed half my time,
a helpless invalid. This year have
been able to do all my own cooking, ex-
cept when I was down with a severe
cold. Mrs. M. E. SAssKR.

Time passed on-a financial crisis came,
and with hundreds Of others down went
the house of Griggs, Nskem 4 Co. 0..si
Solomon sat in. his o1ice gloouily
brooding over bis ruin, gloomily thinking
of the woman whose love he had 90 long
and fruitlesaly striven to win, darkly
wondering if it were not better to cut
short an aimless, hopeless, blighted life.
In the little drawer on the right lay q
brace of pistols, present from young
Makem when he went to California Sol
omon took them out-they were loaded
it was but to raise them 80, adjust the
trigger SO, and
Lady wants to see you, SIR"
"Can't see her, sir. What can . wom-
an want here? Shut the door; if any one
calls, say I'm OUT
Once more he took up the pistol, but
this time it drop from his nerveless hand,
for pair of arms were round his neck
and two clear gray eyes looked lovingly y
in his, while the voice that was sweetest
to him whispered to him softly:
When you were rich, rejected you.
Now that you are poor l came to ask if
You will take me ?''
And Solomon, like q sensible man, put
up the pistols and took the "calico frock'
instead.-Ne,o York Mercury.

Suffering for Principle.

The fact that Virginia is virtually in
chains in the persons of her Attorney
General and Commonwealth's-Attorney
ScoTT affords no cause for discourage
ment. Wait until the end comes. From
the days OF BACON to the present time
Virginia has blazed the way leading to
sound governmental principles, and has
led in the reaction against usurpation
and oppression. In the past she has
never suffered in vain for principle.
She can hardly do SO hereafter. Who
knows but that this last attempt to hu-
initiate her may prove the means Of
bringing us back to first principles
bringing us back to the Constitution as
the fathers understood it? In this con-
nection we ask our New England con-
temporaries especially to ponder the
following from the EVenin9 State,
every word Of which is TO the point
"Hon. Rufus A. Ayers and Mr.. John
Scott sent to Jail by Judge Bond! The
Acknowledgement of sovereign State
and one of its Commonwealth attor-
neys cast into prison by Federal
satrnpi The Constitution OF the
United States declares that State
shall not be sued, and for attempting
to defend the State of Virginia against
violation of the Constitution two
faithful public servants are punished
with imprisonment Because they do
not bow down TO the absurd and fla
grant misinterpretation of words,
which would make it appear that to sue
State officer, acting in his official
capacity, is not to sue State, they are
treated like common felons.
"But as it is true that to sue State
officer is to sue State, so it is equally
true that to attempt TO degrade State
officer is to attempt TO degrade State.
We have, then, the painful. humiliating
spectacle OF q sovereign State insulted
by subordinate Federal Judge, Who
will claim that such a power was ever
intended by the fathers to be directed
against State? None save those lit
tie microscopists OF the legal profess
sion who are incapable Of taking in a
great principle, and who can only see
the smallest and finest technicalities of
the law. To declare that q State can
not be sued, and yet to attempt to sus-
tein such legal shaving as that of Judge
Bond, is a mockery of Justice
